Quickies can be so much fun, so why not make them sublime without dragging on time, and have next-level sex when you’ve only got secs?
1. Hire a ride
Get yourself a car! City-based vehicle share schemes like Zipcar let you hire a Polo or a Fiesta by the minute. Use the app to find the nearest available car to you, unlock and start it with your phone, then zoom off to a quiet spot for an urgent backseat bone against the clock.
An excellent sex fix if the urge for a quickie strikes but there’s nowhere in the immediate vicinity to get privately lewd and rude. Plus, it reawakens those thrilling teenage memories of escaping from your parents’ watchful eyes to go and frantically poke in a Peugeot 106.
2. Make the most of your clothing
Planning to pash in a dash? Wear a maxi dress (without underwear, if you want to turn it up an extra notch), then hold the skirt fabric out of the way while you’re fucking by pulling it up to your face and biting on it with your teeth. It will act as an impromptu gag - and a hella hot, achingly crude, your-partner-will-replay-it-in-their-mind-later visual.
Taking off your knickers and stuffing them in your lover’s/your mouth is uhhhhhhhhhhh-mazing, too. As is the feel of a cold belt buckle against your clit…
3. Make your vibrator do double duty
In a hurry? Make your sex toys work smarter to satisfy both you and your lover at once, and in double quick time. “One of my favourite things to do with a penis-owning partner is to place the head of his cock (erect or not) on my clit, and then apply a strong vibrator to the penis – it can feel amazing for both people,” says Allison Moon, author of Girl Sex 101.
This could be a useful way to kick-start things if you’ve not got long for your sexin’ session, but your partner is struggling to get hard – or indeed, if you want some brisk brilliance for you both without involving penetration at all.
I love Iroha’s ribbed Kushi vibrator, which looks like the frosting on the top of an Iced Gem biscuit. It’s deliciously, unusually squishy, made from ultra-soft silicone which is more gentle on the hyper-sensitive penile glans. Wondrous for women who find hard plastic vibes bruise their bits, too.
4. Try a more acrobatic position
If you're only treating yourself to a quickie, holding a more physically challenging position won't feel like such an exhausting mission. If you’re on top during intercourse, try leaning backwards further than you would usually: it will activate your core and you’ll feel the burn in your abs, but because it pulls your pelvic area slightly more taught, this can make sensations in the genitals feel stronger.
The same applies to sped-up solo sex. “We all know that reverting to the same old position during partnered sex can quickly get boring, yet many of us adopt the same pose every single time we touch ourselves alone,” says Anne-Charlotte Desurelle, co-founder of Soft Paris.
Holding your body in different ways as you masturbate can tense different muscles and activate different nerves; a simple change of posture can make orgasms feel more intense or arrive more easily. If you usually pleasure yourself while laying on your back, try standing up and tensing your legs, or crouching on your hands and knees – and if you’re just having a brief flutter on The National Slottery, see if clenching your buttocks and thighs as hard as you can as you approach climax helps you win big. Manageable strain for maximum gain.
5. Make it slick
Lots of women enjoy spontaneous, wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am swift sex sometimes, but find that without significant build-up, their bodies don’t get chance to produce enough natural moisture to make things optimally comfortable. A quick slick of ONE Oasis water-based lube will solve that issue, or check out the sachets you can get for just a few pence from MyCondom. Stash a couple in your bag so you’ve always got lovely goo on the go.
Condoms are a sensible idea to keep quickies clean and avoid, um, ‘spooge splurge’: ejaculate suddenly and inconveniently running out of your vagina some time after penetrative sex. Try ONE Pleasure Dome styles, which are roomier around the head of the penis for added comfort and sensation, and FlavorWaves varieties, which taste of banana splits, bubblegum, and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Not to be unsavoury, but the latter are especially useful if off-the-cuff sex means a guy hasn’t had chance to wash and his totally human, normal, no-shame-in-it sweat means his usually luscious bits are a little…well, unsavoury.

6. Hump up the volume
Hootin’, hollerin’, gaspin’ and groanin’ for hours can be inconsiderate to neighbours and housemates, but if you know you’re not going to be making love for long, this can be a good moment to be LOUD.
There are all sorts of good reasons to enjoy some raucous ‘din-tercourse’: for a start, making whatever noise you like at whatever volume you want can be immensely liberating. When you’re truly in the moment like that, vocalising the sensations you’re feeling and going at it like the clappers without worrying about whose walls your boom-bang-a-banging headboard might quake, you’re more likely to have a fantastic time.
Plus, shouting powerfully requires you to take a deep breath – which can help some women to orgasm. “Many ladies pant fast and high in their chest during sex, which can give you a headache rather than a high,” says Renee Denyer from Sh! Erotic Emporium. “Breathing deep into the pit of your stomach, like you would before screaming hard, can coax out a climax.”
Furthermore, bellowing in bed can – ahem – hit a ‘roar’ nerve. “The vagus nerve leads directly from the genitals up the body, where it is knitted into the voice box and the muscles of the face,” says sexual wellness coach Megwyn White, ambassador for Satisfyer sex toys. “Breathing deeply and making guttural, animalistic roaring sounds can enhance sexual sensations by waking up that vagus nerve pathway.”
For some folks, being loud in bed feel vulnerable at first. But being brave enough to let go in this way with your partner can strengthen your relationship and bring you closer, because you’re being expressive and showing each other your true selves. Turn the volume up to 11, and see if you can reach Cloud 9.
